You must have a radiator and in the stock location.  The way I understand it you may use an aftermarket replacement as long as you put it where the stock on was and in the same orientation.

I've raced Production and Blown Gas Coupe at WOS, ECTA, and LTA.  Here is my unofficial take: As long as "stuff" is mounted in the OEM postion with a piece that is reasonably OEM like, then it's o.k.  Were there are questions is when "stuff" is present that wasn't available for that model year OR "stuff" not mounted in the OEM position and especially when aero "stuff" isn't exactly like stock.  However, there is one rule that I do believe that does need some clarification:  5.E.1 paragraph 2' " The vehicle will be unaltered in height,..."

Ransom,,, I think that means Body height,,,Like Chopping the Top,,, not like lowering ride ride height ?  But then again I may be wrong,,, thats why I am in the Altered Class :)

You guys are correct, the rule has to do with body height (e.g. chopping or channeling), rather than any lowering of the body in relationship with the ground (e.g. suspension).

All the tec guys following along, I am hoping I can make this thing work in production supercharged so any potential issues you may see with that please lay them out so I can attempt to address them before I arrive at the airstrip.

Finished the plumbing for the fuel system and all the AN vac lines.  I forgot how much of a pain in the butt working with -4 could be until yesterday.  Now to decide what injectors I am going to run since PS doesn't allow E98 I have to switch back to Import.

Well with E98, I would think your running a big injector already....1100+, wouldn't you just shorten the duty cycle and keep the fatties?

Mind you I'm not a Tuner god or anything.... I'm running a 880's and 110 octane on the Truck..and I run fat because I've leaned out an engine, costly....

I have 2150cc injectors for e98, however the 2150s don't work with import because of the additive in it.

Sounds like you need a quick change Fuel Rail, 2150's is what, a -8 fuel line to each cylinder   :-D

Injectors are easy to change in a DSM, it takes less than 10 minutes.  The issue is the 2150s do not require the resitor pack and the 1600s are like normal mitsu injectors and do.  So when I switch injectors back I have to wire the resistor pack back in.

Ahhh. Peak, hold vs. saturated.  In my truck, there is a single connector on the firewall that  the injector wiring harness plugs into.
You can see it, and my resistor pack at the top of the photo.



Have one with the resistor pack, and one without. Quick change....extra harness from pick a part, or parts car.....
